Proposal

'The first four pages from an original regional magazine, together with two of the following three options:

a radio advertisement for the magazine;
two hyperlinked pages from the magazines website;
a billboard advertisement for the magazine.'


I have chosen this brief because it appealed to me most as I like the idea of being able to chose what kind of magazine I would like to produce for. My first thoughts were a regional fashion magazine and this is what I am going to stick with throughout because fashion interests me and is something I like writing about therefore I will enjoy creating pages for regional fashion magazines. I have a lot of knowledge on vintage clothing and the different styles from different eras so within my work I would like to include a variety of styles from different decades. 
            To produce my work I will mostly be using photoshop to create the first 4 pages of the magazine, because of my AS coursework I have a lot of experience with working with photoshop therefore I know the different aspects of the program and what tools work best to carry out certain tasks. When researching into my brief I will look into a variety of fashion magazines such as Vogue, Elle, Grazia and Fabulous however the magazine that I choose will be a regional magazine that is sold in the north east, therefore I will be attracting a certain target audience. 
             I would like to achieve at the end of this coursework 4 pages that fit in with my chosen regional fashion magazine but also stand out and show my knowledge on the subject and what I am capable of doing in photoshop. I will take aspects out of certain magazines such as Vogue, because I really like how the magazine is laid out and how the colour choices always seem to depend on the season that it has been released in. However I will also look into cheaper magazines such as Fabulous and Company and show high street clothing because my target audience will mostly be based around young women as well as people living in the north east where most of the shops are high street. I would like to achieve a unique magazine and show different styled clothing therefore it will be mostly based around vintage clothing and different eras but still show relevant clothing to the northeast and how different fashions have been brought back. Overall, my magazine will be a regional fashion product that will appeal to young girls/women that live in the north east, it will show unique images taken by myself and include usual items that you would expect to find in a fashion magazine.
